If your world only revolves around money and nothing else and you have no interest in, I don't know, actual contact with your readers, then why not, I guess...

But I think even purely economically this won't work: For starters, who would set the price for your book?

Your book would become an exchangeable commodity, with the "purchase decision" done solely by AIs (and their companies), not the "readers". The financial success of your book would depend on whatever criteria AIs use to decide about including your content or not, not your (human) readers (or what's left of them). As with most commodities, this would enter a "race to the bottom" that would probably leave you with pennies - or steer your writing into a direction that you were never intending to go in.

Just a question: In such a system, why would you still write the book yourself and not have an LLM write it?
